Chapter 15: Am I pretty? Not so pretty

Lao Li said lamely: "Thank you, Lu Er, being the master."

Lu Chau smiled, "Thank me for what I do?"

"Madame has often talked about Young Master over the years." Lao Li said lamely, "It's just that she didn't even notice it."

"I don't know about other people's family affairs." Lu Chai said, "But when I was young, I also saw Mrs. Tao in the tomb of Mingyue. At that time, she was sitting in the courtyard sewing clothes. She smiled at the hospital. At that time, I felt that she must be a good mother."

Ah Liu squatted with his knees on the side, listening very enviously. His parents have died since he was a child, and he has never worn the clothes made by his mother. I wonder if he will also wear new clothes made by the mother when he gets married.

In the small courtyard, Xiao Lan said, "Why does mother come to this Frost City?"

Tao Yu'er sighed and stretched out his hand to fix his clothes: "I think you want to ask me why I haven't asked you for so many years."

Xiao Lan was silent for a moment: "Mother, would you like to speak?"

"It was a helpless act to take you into the tomb of Mingyue." Tao Yuer sat on a chair and held one of his hands. "It's better to be poisoned than death, isn't it?"

"What kind of poison?" Xiao Lan frowned.

"How can Aunt Gui not hate Fei Ling because of your father's devil." Tao Yuer said, "It's just that at that time she couldn't find a daughter, so she treated you, mother and son as her only hope. I took advantage of the situation and made up a lie and said maybe Your father has taken Fei Ling away and went to the desert island in the South China Sea. He pretended to cry and told her daughter to return to my husband. The acting tricked her into the tomb of Mingyue."

"Mother is poisoned?" Xiao Lan asked.

"It's not me, it's you." Tao Yu'er patted his hand, "Since Aunt Gui was fooled by me, she believed that your father had been ruthless to me. There is no use poisoning me, but you are different. Father and son bloodline Connected, does it mean that you can be given up? So at that time, she believed that as long as you stay in the tomb, your father will go back, and when your father goes back, Fei Ling will naturally follow. In order to trap us, mother and son Live, on the first day you entered the tomb, she gave you the dry bone pill."

"What is that?" Xiao Lan frowned.

"I have never heard of it in the Mingyue Tomb for so many years?" Tao Yuer said, "Once you have been poisoned by the withered bone pill, you have to go to practice in the miasma pool of the Mingyue Tomb every three to five, otherwise you will die prematurely and die. It's a piece of bone."

Xiao Lan hesitated: "But I never—"

"That's because I fed you five poison beads when you first got the poison." Tao Yuer said.

Xiao Lan said, "This doesn't sound like the name of an antidote."

Tao Yuer said: "This is naturally not an antidote, but another poison. You vomited a lot of blood that night and rolled on the ground in pain. Later, your mind was also confused, and I was afraid that I would not remember it."

Xiao Lan's eyes are a little puzzled, poison?

"I just looked at you like that, but I felt distressed but I only gritted my teeth." Tao Yuer said, "Later, when you were going to die, I hugged you and asked Aunt Gui, saying that you were young and weak and couldn't stand the poison of withered bone pill. , Can't wait to go to the Miasma Lake, beg her to give you a way out."

At that time, Xiao Lan was dying of blood, and Aunt Gui was shocked when she saw it, and when she was too impatient to check, she gave him the antidote to the dry bone pill.

"After returning to the room, I secretly fed you the antidote for the Five Poison Pearls." Tao Yuer said, "I finally took my life back, but it made you sick for a whole year."

Only then did Xiao Lan understand why, after entering the Mingyue Tomb, when he was originally healthy, he first became unconscious with a high fever for some reason, and then lay down for the whole spring, summer, autumn and winter, unconsciously remembering anything.

"It's also good. At least let Aunt Gui know that you are weak and cannot be corroded by poisons." Tao Yuer said, "It's just that I never expected that after staying in the tomb for a long time, you will get closer and closer to her. "

"Didn't my mother teach me?" Xiao Lan said, "You have to please my aunt to get a home."

"I made you hypocritical, but you can't wait to treat her as your mother!" Tao Yuer was still a little angry when she mentioned this.

Xiao Lan helplessly: "At that time, I was young, and my mother never said about our relationship with the Mingyue Tomb. After the poisoning was removed, my aunt treated me like my own life. Besides, I didn't know what dry bone pill and five poison beads were. ." It is reasonable to be close to them.

Tao Yuer rubbed her eyebrows, thinking back to those years, she didn't know what it was like. In order to save her son's life, she first suffered cold eyes on the cliff of Wunian, and was wounded into the tomb of Mingyue. She fed him with poison and held it for countless nights before finally hoping for a glimmer of life. . But he didn't expect that Xiao Lan would like Aunt Gui more and more. He often stayed in the deepest part of the tomb all day long, and was happy when he came back.

"Did my mother be disappointed in me back then?" Xiao Lan asked.

"I don't know." Tao Yu'er was a little tired, "I hope you will get close to her first, and the closer you get, the safer you will be, but only jealousy is left behind. Feiling colluded with the bandits and destroyed the entire Xiao family and killed my husband. , Her mother came to take my son again, even more hateful, but I didn’t even have the power to take it back."

Xiao Lan said, "If my mother doesn't want to talk about these old things, don't say it."

"When you grow up, the people in the Mingyue Tomb will start calling you Young Master, I know that I should leave." Tao Yuer said, "If you continue to stay in the Mingyue Tomb, I am afraid I will be jealous to go crazy. , I'm afraid I will want to kill Aunt Gui, but I will destroy you in the end."

Xiao Lan said, "Why didn't my mother take me with you?"

"After a few years in the tomb, I broke contact with the outside without seeing the sun, and I don't even know if the killer of Wunianya has forgotten me." Tao Yuer said, "I can't protect myself, so how dare to take you."

Xiao Lan said nothing.

"Do you hate your mother?" Tao Yuer asked.

Xiao Lan said, "I hated it at the beginning. I don't know what I did wrong. You will be left alone in the tomb of Mingyue. Aunt Gui and everyone are saying that you don't want me."

"I told Auntie Gui that I wanted to find your father." Tao Yuer said, "She was very close to you at that time, and she happened to think that having a mother in the middle was an annoying thing. I wish I could leave quickly."

After leaving the tomb, Tao Yuer first returned to Wushuang City, the old house illusion was still normal, and then met in the city the old sweeping servant Li Lao, who had been without a thought on the cliff, and she dressed up as a husband and wife with him. I want to find out the mastermind behind Li Yin.

"Are there any results?" Xiao Lan asked.

Tao Yuer shook his head: "No. Actually wanting to kill Li Yin is easy, but he is just a puppet. If you want to really avenge your father, you must at least find out the origins of those killers back then."

It's just that Li Yin is cautious. Tao Yuer and Li Laohu lived in the city for a year, and they didn't find any clues. Instead, they were noticed by the other party. In order to avoid getting rid of the grass and startling snakes, the two had to leave Frost City and walk far to Wangcheng. Opened a small oil mill, thinking of finding another way, and deliberating on a long-term plan.

Xiao Lan said: "That's it."

"Although I can't enter the tomb of Mingyue, I have been secretly paying attention to the movement of Fuhunling." Tao Yuer said, "this time I heard she sent you to the royal city, I knew that the time was almost there."

"When is it?" Xiao Lan asked.

Tao Yuer said: "The time to put these old grievances on fire."

"The Fei Ling is dead, should the mother do it?" Xiao Lan said, "and the red lotus cup in her hand is related to the red lotus cup in the tomb of Mingyue, does the mother know?"

"The red lotus cup can call souls, it's just an outside rumor." Tao Yuer said, "just listen."

Xiao Lan said, "My mother did not answer my question."

"The red lotus cup is muddy water. You don't have to sink yourself in." Tao Yuer said, "If you really want to know, when you avenge the Xiao family, it will not be too late for my mother to tell you the purpose of this red lotus cup."

Xiao Lan said: "Auntie sent me out this time for two things, one is to kill Lu Zhui, and the other is to retrieve the red lotus cup."

"Lu Zhui?" Tao Yuer said, "The shopkeeper of Shanhaiju is also the son of Haibi and Lu Wuming. Over the years, I have been wondering why he opened a restaurant in Wangcheng without changing his name like that. Old people come to make trouble."

"It is said that Zhao Yue, the master of Shanhaiju, has a deep background, and the court and martial arts respect him three points." Xiao Lan said, "Those people in the rivers and lakes also understand winks."

"You still know that you have to understand winks." Tao Yuer shook her head, "No one dares, but you just rush to listen to the evil woman like that?"

"It's not all because of my aunt." Xiao Lan said, "I killed many brothers in the Fuhunling battle, and I always want to get justice for them."

"But I heard that you entered the mountain with Lu Zhui this time." Tao Yuer said, "Hand in hand side by side, it doesn't seem to have deep hatred."

"Because the red lotus cup that was supposed to be robbed by him appeared in the Xiao family's old house twenty years ago." Xiao Lan said, "So I was thinking that the truth I thought before might not fact."

"The Lu family is a big household in the south of the Yangtze River. Lu Mingyu is a gentle gentleman, and he is indeed more reliable in speaking than your aunt." Tao Yuer said, "Well, let people outside come in, otherwise it will get windy."

Xiao Lan stepped forward and opened the wooden door.

Lu Zhui was taking a nap against the tree, wrapped in A Liu's robe.

"Young Master." Lao Li stood up.

"Come in." Xiao Lan said, "it's getting dark."

Seeing his face as usual, Li Laohu seemed to be getting along well with his mother and son, put his heart back in his stomach, laughed and limped into the door.

A Liudao: "Father, you wake up, father."

"Huh?" Lu Chai yawned, and he opened his eyes to see Xiao Lan holding his arms and looking at him condescendingly.

...

"It's over?" Lu asked.

Xiao Lan nodded.

"How?" Lu Chai stood up.

Xiao Lan turned sideways and said, "Let's talk about it at the Advanced Institute."

Lu Zhui threw the black robe back to Ah Liu, adjusted his clothes, and asked, "Is my hair messed up?"

Xiao Lan said, "No."

Lu asked, "Is there dirt on his face?"

Xiao Lan stared at the white face for a while, and said, "Neither."

Lu Zhui continued to ask, "Does it look good?"

Xiao Lan said, "Not so good-looking."

Lu Zhui turned his head to look at Ah Liu.

A Liu hurriedly said: "Good-looking, good-looking, talented, Yushu is near the wind, suave and chic."

Lu Chai patted him on the chest with the back of his hand, and raised his foot to step into the courtyard gate.
